What is a CMR?
A Council-certified Microbial Remediator (CMR) has earned the most respected certification in the field of microbial remediation.
A CMR is certified as knowledgeable and experienced in conducting microbial remediation projects.
To earn and maintain the CMR, every candidate must:
-
Demonstrate at least two (2) years of verifiable field experience in microbial remediation
-
Pass a rigorous, psychometrically rated examination based on broad industry knowledge rather than a course curriculum
-
Earn the unanimous approval of the CMR certification board
-
Re-certify every two years
-
Participate in 20 hours of professional development activities each year
-
Maintain the highest ethical standards
The CMR certification is accredited by the Council for Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB), a nationally recognized independent accreditation body. IAQ Council certifications are the ONLY designations in indoor air quality to earn CESB accreditation.
